When I went to the Hair Cuttery in Greenbelt, MD on New Year's Eve '03 into '04. I wanted to get my hair cut and I was charged more than the white clients and I had to wait for a black stylist (1 of 2) because the Asian and White woman there would not do my hair. So, I sat there for almost an hour waiting for the black stylist! Then this ***** had a nerve to be rude. I wanted my hair in the china bob cut that is in the HiRez hair color ads and the first thing she tries to do is insult me! Okay the cut was sitting right on your shoulders and she was like "your hair is already that length"! Yes, in the front it was, but in the back my hair was much longer *I had that v-tail going on, even in this pic you can't see where my hair ends
So, I say no my hair is longer than that, she goes whatever and starts cutting my hair, then to add insult to injury she holds up a piece of hair about 3/4 of an inch that she cut, from like the sides and goes "see", yet on the floor are chunks of hair much longer. WHATEVER! She then cuts my bangs, lopsided. She washes me, asks why I'm waiting so long to get a touch-up, then puts some sticky *** setting or blowdry lotion in my hair and blowdries it with much difficulty and my cut looked nice but my hair was sticky. I went home right after, re-washed and blowdried my hair *with ease* and re-styled it. I wish I had developed the pics from that night, I'll do it soon and post them *the cut was super cute & I might get it like that again*
It was one of my worst hair salon experiences ever and I have yet to go back!
P.S. A bi-racial female was in there with long mid-back hair and a white stylists did not make her wait to get a trim /images/graemlins/mad.gif

For the past five years I have gone to HairCuttery's through out the state of Maryland and I guess I could say through-out the country......All Haircuttery Salons can give you a roller-set and get you out in less than the 5 hours that you have to wait in some saloons. I would tell the stylist that when I was dry, to just take out the rollers and that is it. Afterwards, I would proceed to pull my scarf out (yea...I do travel everywhere with my ugly, worn out, ten year old scarf) and wrap my hair in a doobie. The best deal was that it cost $10.00!!!!!!! Well needless to say, I was in shock when I went the last time and it cost me $35.00!!!!! I was pi$$ed!!!!! I had to pay $35.00 and the stylist didn't do anything but roller-set my hair and take out the rollers!!!!!! The stylist, who was black, told me that there was a lawsuit against the Haircuttery in this area because they had gone up on price because, and I quote, "African-American hair is very difficult to deal with" unquote......Needless to say, I have not been back........plus...I have relaxed hair that is thinner than most "non-African-American" hair...sorry about the long response but as you can see....this subject just gets me heated!!!!!
